Unlike Zach Snyder, Suicide Squad director David Ayer has been giving fans plenty of teases for the super-villain team-up. After giving us our first look at Jared Leto's Joker, he has unveiled the first picture of pretty much the whole Squad.
Starting to the left is Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as the Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara kneeling as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Squad leader Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.
I'm not familiar with Slipknot, but just by doing a quick Goggle search I was able to see that he looks super cheesy in the comics, so I don't really know what to say. Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang looks very cool, and the hip and kinda rebellious look fits the character quite nicely. He's wearing blue like he does in the comics, has a trench coat like in the comics, and has his classic beanie. No sign of his boomerangs yet. I like how they embraced the silliness of a guy who throws boomerangs by making him look like a weirdo and hipster.
The Enchantress looks pretty scary, and I like this adaptation of the character. It looks like she was dragged out of a swamp; if they did her classic look, she would have looked a little out of place. Here she is in the comics.
Katana resembles her comic look, complete with her signature sword and mask. Rick Flagg has a broad look, and they did him right by making him look very tactical and, frankly, just by making him look like a badass, they delivered.
Next up is Harley Quinn, the girlfriend of the Joker, and she will surely spark some debate. She is probably the most well-known of the bunch in the photo, and as this is the first live-action adaptation for her, there is a lot of pressure to make her look right. Harley looks like her portrayal in the Batman games and the New 52, as expected.
The blond hair with blue and presumably red on the other side looks like the games, though I was expecting more red and black on her. I'm a little disappointed. But at least she has white skin! Deadshot looks the best out of the bunch; he retains enough of his comic-book look yet they also make him look realistic. He has the classic red and black armor as well as the surplus of weapons and ammunition. Ayer tweeted a better look at him, with his signature mask.
The most important part of his costume, the mask, is included in the image, looking like it did in the comics. I'm surprised Ayer decided to go white, but it looks amazing, complete with the eye piece. Killer Croc looks great too, and most importantly, he looks scary, as he should. This is his first live-action appearance as well. I've been looking forward to seeing him on the big screen for a long time, and I am extremely pleased. Killer Croc looks ugly and disgusting and menacing and reptilian and it is awesome.
Finally, there is El Diablo. He has the tattoos he is known for, so no complaints. What i love about the picture is that there is nothing photo-shopped in it, just the cast in costume. It looks like some cosplayers got together for this. There are some people notably absent from the picture; Viola Davis' Amanda Waller is absent, as is the Joker, Hugo Strange (rumored to be played by Ike Barinholtz), Deathstroke (rumored to be played by Jim Parrack) and King Shark (rumored to be played by Ray Olubowale). So far, so good! This is already looking epic.
